Exodus 12 (ZAJP)

1MNDEWA kawalongela Musa na Haloni muisi ya Misili,Now the LORD said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt,

2“Mulenge uno wowa mulenge wa ichanduso wa mulao kumwenu.“This month is the beginning of months for you; it shall be the first month of your year.

3Walongele wanhu wose wa Islaeli kamba mdizua da longo dimwe da mulenge uno, kila mbigalo yamsole mwanang'hondolo ama mwanamenhe sama ya wanhu wa ng'anda yake.Tell the whole congregation of Israel that on the tenth day of this month each man must select a lamb for his family, one per household.

4Kamba wanhu wa ng'anda yake wadodo mmheta na hawadaha kumja mwanang'hondolo mgima, basi na waiduganye na wanhu wa ng'anda ya behi yao wamje hamoja. Ija imwanang'hondolo kolondigwa yagoligwe vidanga viilingile na wanhu wondawamje.If the household is too small for a whole lamb, they are to share with the nearest neighbor based on the number of people, and apportion the lamb accordingly.

5Mng'onyo yondamumsagule kolondigwa yawe songolomi wa mulao umwe, sambiyawe na ulemale, umsole kulawa mkikwama cha ng'hondolo ama menhe.Your lamb must be an unblemished year-old male, and you may take it from the sheep or the goats.

6Abaho mdizua da longo dimwe na nne da mulenge uno, wanhu wose wa Islaeli wolondigwa wawachinje iwang'onyo mkipigiti cha ichungulo.You must keep it until the fourteenth day of the month, when the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel will slaughter the animals at twilight.

7Wasole mulopa kidogo wa iwang'onyo na kuubaka mmihimili mibili ya zinyivi zao na mkizingiti cha uchana cha izing'anda zondawadile iwang'onyo.They are to take some of the blood and put it on the sides and tops of the doorframes of the houses where they eat the lambs.

8Wolondigwa wazije zinyama ikilo iija, wolondigwa wazije zikokigwe mmoto, hamoja na mikate ilibule mela hamoja na mboga zili usungu.They are to eat the meat that night, roasted over the fire, along with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.

9Sambizidigwe zili mbisi ama zitogoswe mmazi, ila mzikoke mmoto hamoja na ditwi jake, migulu yake, na vinhu vake va mgati.Do not eat any of the meat raw or cooked in boiling water, but only roasted over the fire—its head and legs and inner parts.

10Sambimsigaze kinhu chochose mbaka imitondo. Kamba kuna kinhu chochose kisigale mbaka imitondo, molondigwa mkisome.Do not leave any of it until morning; before the morning you must burn up any part that is left over.

11Vino vivo vondamuije. Muje kuno kila munhu yafungile mkwiji mchuno chake, na kuvala ng'hwabasa zake mmagulu gake, na kuigoga fimbo yake mumkono wake, na molondigwa mumje himahima. Kwavija luno lulo Lusona lwa Pasaka lutendigwa sama ya kunihishimila nie, MNDEWA.This is how you are to eat it: You must be fully dressed for travel, with your sandals on your feet and your staff in your hand. You are to eat in haste; it is the LORD’s Passover.

12“Kwavija ikilo ija nobita muisi yose ya Misili na kumtoa kila mwana wa udele wa kimbigalo wa munhu na mng'onyo, na noigala nhaguso ha miungu yose ya Misili. Nie iyo MNDEWA.On that night I will pass through the land of Egypt and strike down every firstborn male, both man and beast, and I will execute judgment against all the gods of Egypt. I am the LORD.

13Uja umulopa mmihimili wowa kilaguso kumwenu mzing'anda zondamkale, na nihawona umulopa, nobita uchana yenu, na haduhu utamu wihile ng'hani wondauwabanange mweye kipigiti vondaniitoe isi ya Misili.The blood on the houses where you are staying will be a sign; when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No plague will fall on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.

14Zua dino dowa zua da ng'humbukila ya gaja ganitendile kumwenu. Molondigwa mdideng'hele diwe lusona ha nie, MNDEWA, mzing'holo zenu zose, na iwe ndagizi ya milao yose ikwiza.”And this day will be a memorial for you, and you are to celebrate it as a feast to the LORD, as a permanent statute for the generations to come.

15MNDEWA kalonga, “Mmazua saba dieni mikate ilibule mela. Mdizua da ichanduso molondigwa msegeze mela jose mzing'anda zenu, kwavija munhu yoyose yoja mkate uli na mela songela zua da ichanduso mbaka zua da saba kolondigwa yasegezigwe kulawa mmwanza wa wanhu wa Islaeli.For seven days you must eat unleavened bread. On the first day you are to remove the leaven from your houses. Whoever eats anything leavened from the first day through the seventh must be cut off from Israel.

16Zua da ichanduso muwe na mting'hano ung'alile, vivija na zua da saba muwe na mting'hano ung'alile. Sambimsang'hanike sang'hano yoyose mmazua gano mabili, ila ino iyo sang'hano yondamuitende, telekeni mandia giladi kila munhu yaje.On the first day you are to hold a sacred assembly, and another on the seventh day. You must not do any work on those days, except to prepare the meals—that is all you may do.

17Tendeni Lusona lwa Mikate Ilibule Mela, kwavija lowakumbusa kamba, dino dijo zua nie diniilavile mitala yenu kulawa muisi ya Misili. Mulutende lusona luno mmilelo yenu yose.So you are to keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread, for on this very day I brought your divisions out of the land of Egypt. You must keep this day as a permanent statute for the generations to come.

18Dieni mikate ilibule mela, songela ichungulo ya zua da longo dimwe na nne, mbaka ichungulo ya zua da malongo mabili na imwe da mulenge wa ichanduso.In the first month you are to eat unleavened bread, from the evening of the fourteenth day until the evening of the twenty-first day.

19Mmazua saba sambikuwe na mela mzing'anda zenu, kwavija munhu yoyose yondayaje mandia gali na mela kolondigwa yasegezigwe kulawa mmwanza wa wanhu wa Islaeli, kamba yahawa muhenza ama mwenekae.For seven days there must be no leaven found in your houses. If anyone eats something leavened, that person, whether a foreigner or native of the land, must be cut off from the congregation of Israel.

20Sambimuje kinhu chochose kili na mela mgati yake. Kokose kondamuwe, dieni mikate ilibule mela.”You are not to eat anything leavened; eat unleavened bread in all your homes.”

21Musa kawakema wavyele wose wa Islaeli na kuwalongela, “Gendeni hima mkawasagule wanang'hondolo ama wanamenhe muwachinje, giladi milango yenu itende Lusona lwa Pasaka.Then Moses summoned all the elders of Israel and told them, “Go at once and select for yourselves a lamb for each family, and slaughter the Passover lamb.

22Ukingeni umulopa mumkungu, abaho soleni vitambi va m'biki ukemigwa hisopo, vizabikeni mmulopa, abaho bakeni m'vizingiti va uchana va izinyivi na mmihimili ya mumgwazo ya izinyivi za ng'anda zenu. Na munhu yoyose sambiyalawe hanze kubitila mulwivi mbaka imitondo.Take a cluster of hyssop, dip it into the blood in the basin, and brush the blood on the top and sides of the doorframe. None of you shall go out the door of his house until morning.

23Kwavija MNDEWA yahabita muisi kuwakoma Wamisili, kowona umulopa muna ivizingiti va uchana ya izinyivi na mmihimili mibili ya izinyivi, kobita uchana ya izing'anda zija na hamuleka im'bananzi yengile mzing'anda zenu na kuwakoma.When the LORD passes through to strike down the Egyptians, He will see the blood on the top and sides of the doorframe and will pass over that doorway; so He will not allow the destroyer to enter your houses and strike you down.

24Molondigwa mzigoge ndagizi zino ziwe ndagizi za digunge, kumwenu mweye hamoja na wanenu.And you are to keep this command as a permanent statute for you and your descendants.

25Muhengila muna iisi ija MNDEWA iyekile kilagano na mweye kamba kowagwelela, mkalutende lusona luno.When you enter the land that the LORD will give you as He promised, you are to keep this service.

26Na wanenu wahawauza, ‘Lusona luno nhegulo yake choni?’When your children ask you, ‘What does this service mean to you?’

27walongeleni, ‘Ino iyo nhosa ya kuchinja wang'onyo ha MNDEWA ikemigwa Pasaka, MNDEWA ayo yabitile uchana ya izing'anda za Waislaeli muisi ya Misili na kuzileka ng'anda zetu kipigiti viyawakomile wana wa udele wa Wamisili.’ ” Abaho Waislaeli wose wafugama mavindi wainamila mbaka hasi na kutambika.you are to reply, ‘It is the Passover sacrifice to the LORD, who passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt when He struck down the Egyptians and spared our homes.’” Then the people bowed down and worshiped.

28Waislaeli wachola na kutenda kamba MNDEWA viyawalagize Musa na Haloni.And the Israelites went and did just what the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron.

29Kilo kikulu MNDEWA kawakoma wana wa udele wose wali muisi ya Misili, songela mwana mbigalo wa udele wa Falao, ayo yakalile mkigoda chake cha undewa, mbaka mwana mbigalo wa udele wa mfungigwa yakalile mdigati da hasi diliziza, na wana wa udele wa wang'onyo.Now at midnight the LORD struck down every firstborn male in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who sat on his throne, to the firstborn of the prisoner in the dungeon, as well as all the firstborn among the livestock.

30Falao na salange zake na wanhu wose wa Misili wenuka ikilo ija, na kukala na kililo kikulu ng'hani muisi yose ya Misili, kwavija hakukalile na ng'anda ikalile bule munhu yadanganhike.During the night Pharaoh got up—he and all his officials and all the Egyptians—and there was loud wailing in Egypt; for there was no house without someone dead.

31Abaho ikilo iija Falao kawakema Musa na Haloni na kuwalongela, “Halaweni! Segeleni kulawa mwa wanhu zangu, mweye hamoja na Waislaeli wose! Gobokeni, gendeni mkamtambikile MNDEWA kamba vumpulile.Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron by night and said, “Get up, leave my people, both you and the Israelites! Go, worship the LORD as you have requested.

32Soleni vikwama venu va ng'hondolo na ng'ombe kamba vumulongile na muhalawe. Vivija munimoteze na nie.”Take your flocks and herds as well, just as you have said, and depart! And bless me also.”

33Wamisili wose wawayalalila Waislaeli walopole kulawa muisi yao, kwavija walonga, “Kamba muhasigala hano, tweye tose todanganhika.”And in order to send them out of the land quickly, the Egyptians urged the people on. “For otherwise,” they said, “we are all going to die!”

34Avo wanhu wasola mitonge ya ngano ikandigwe bila mela, waimemeza m'vikalango vao va kukandila, waizingiliza m'vivalo vao, na kuipapa mmaega gao.So the people took their dough before it was leavened, carrying it on their shoulders in kneading bowls wrapped in clothing.

35Waislaeli wakala weshile kutenda kamba Musa viyawalongele. Wakala wawapulile Wamisili vinhu va zahabu na madini ga feza, hamoja na vivalo.Furthermore, the Israelites acted on Moses’ word and asked the Egyptians for articles of silver and gold, and for clothing.

36MNDEWA kawatenda Waislaeli watogoligwe na Wamisili, avo wawagwelela chochose chawalondile. Avo wawabokonya Wamisili vinhu vao.And the LORD gave the people such favor in the sight of the Egyptians that they granted their request. In this way they plundered the Egyptians.

37Waislaeli wasonga mwanza kulawa wambo da Lamesesi mbaka kiwambo cha Sukuti, wotembela na magulu. Wakala wambigalo laki sita, uhaleka watwanzi na wana wadodo.The Israelites journeyed from Rameses to Succoth with about 600,000 men on foot, besides women and children.

38Na wanhu wayagwe bwando wakalile si Waislaeli wachola hamoja na hewo hamoja na madale makulu ga ng'hondolo, menhe, na ng'ombe.And a mixed multitude also went up with them, along with great droves of livestock, both flocks and herds.

39Woka mikate ilibule mela kulawa mmitonge ya ngano iwalawile nayo kulawa Misili, ija imitonge ya ngano ikala bule mela kwavija wawingigwa kulawa muisi ya Misili avo hawapatile kipigiti cha kusasala mandia gao.Since their dough had no leaven, the people baked what they had brought out of Egypt into unleavened loaves. For when they had been driven out of Egypt, they could not delay and had not prepared any provisions for themselves.

40Waislaeli wakala muisi ya Misili mkipigiti cha milao mia nne na malongo madatu (430).Now the duration of the Israelites’ stay in Egypt was 430 years.

41Vuimalile milao mia nne na malongo madatu, zua didija mitala yose ya MNDEWA isegela kulawa muisi ya Misili.At the end of the 430 years, to the very day, all the LORD’s divisions went out of the land of Egypt.

42Ikilo ija MNDEWA kagonelela mkuwemiliza kipigiti viyakalile yowalava Waislaeli kulawa muisi ya Misili. Na ikilo ya zua kamba didija Waislaeli wose hamoja na milelo yao ikwiza wolondigwa wagonelele mkumuhishimila MNDEWA.Because the LORD kept a vigil that night to bring them out of the land of Egypt, this same night is to be a vigil to the LORD, to be observed by all the Israelites for the generations to come.

43MNDEWA kawalongela Musa na Haloni, yolonga, “Zino zizo ndagizi za Pasaka. Muhenza sambiyaje mandia ga Pasaka,And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “This is the statute of the Passover: No foreigner is to eat of it.

44ila nyakadala uyumgulile na wishile kumwingiza kumbi kodaha kuja mandia ga Pasaka.But any slave who has been purchased may eat of it, after you have circumcised him.

45Ila haduhu muhenza ama kibalua yalekile kuwa Muislaeli yondayaje mandia ga Pasaka.A temporary resident or hired hand shall not eat the Passover.

46Yolondigwa idigwe muna ing'anda imwe, na kinhu chochose kulawa muna imng'onyo hiyo sambikilavigwe hanze ya ng'anda ija, na luzege lwa ija ing'hondolo wa Pasaka sambiulubene.It must be eaten inside one house. You are not to take any of the meat outside the house, and you may not break any of the bones.

47Wanhu wose wa Islaeli wolondigwa walutende lusona luno.The whole congregation of Israel must celebrate it.

48Muhenza yokala hamoja na mweye yahalonda kulutenda Lusona lwa Pasaka ya MNDEWA, kolondigwa yawengize kumbi wambigalo wose wali mng'anda yake, abaho kolinga kamba Muislaeli wa kuvumbuka. Ila munhu hanakwingila kumbi sambiyaje mandia gano.If a foreigner resides with you and wants to celebrate the LORD’s Passover, all the males in the household must be circumcised; then he may come near to celebrate it, and he shall be like a native of the land. But no uncircumcised man may eat of it.

49Ndagizi zino zima sama ya Waislaeli wa kuvumbuka hamoja na wahenza wokala mmwanza wenu.”The same law shall apply to both the native and the foreigner who resides among you.”

50Waislaeli wose watogola na kugatenda gaja MNDEWA gayawalagize Musa na Haloni.Then all the Israelites did this—they did just as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron.

51Mdizua didija MNDEWA kailava mitala ya Waislaeli hanze ya isi ya Misili.And on that very day the LORD brought the Israelites out of the land of Egypt by their divisions.
